FKQ Advertising + Marketing

FKQ Advertising + Marketing At FKQ, "Whatever It Takes" (WIT) is more than a philosophy. It's in our DNA. It's the guiding principle we put into practice every single day. We explore.

We discover new ideas. We do Whatever It Takes. Putting clients first has been the cornerstone of FKQ's success since its founding in 1961 by Robert O. Faller.​

What started in Buffalo, NY, quickly grew – serving an impressive roster of brands with offices across the nation. Now headquartered in the Tampa Bay region of Florida, FKQ has evolved into a creative communications enterprise with a team of nearly 100 proven professionals.​

In the ever-changing communications landscape, FKQ continues to be at the forefront of identifying, adopting and deploying new strategies, tactics and technologies to deliver superior value to our Clients.​

There are few agencies who can claim five decades of successful brand-building and marketing prowess. Even rarer are those who can show their success has come directly from putting their clients first, through long-standing relationships and valued partnerships. ​

With each decade, we're reminded how much we love what we do. And how much we value those for whom we do it.​

Let us show you what it feels like to have an agency who always puts you first.​

Let us show you what it's like to partner with FKQ.​

Big congratulations to our partners at Visit Tampa Bay on an incredible showing at the 2026 Flagler Awards! Seven awards. Most of any Florida DMO. And Best of Show. 👏 We couldn’t be prouder to partner with this talented team.

Three years of Camp FKQ, and somehow it just keeps getting more epic. 🙌

This year’s campers got an introduction to AI, teamed up for group commercial workshops, battled it out in a pie-eating contest, and got a super cool visit from our awesome friends at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

And because no Camp FKQ is complete without it… there was lots of karaoke. 🎤

Another bodacious day of creativity, learning, laughs and a little bit of chaos. Thanks to everyone who helped make Year 3 one for the books! ⛺️

🎉 Please join us in congratulating Rob on an incredible milestone—40 years with FKQ!

As one of the “F’s” in FKQ, Rob has been instrumental in shaping our agency’s growth, culture, and success since the very beginning. His dedication, creativity, and leadership have made a lasting impact on our team and clients alike.

Fun fact: Rob’s advertising career started early—he appeared in a Fisher-Price ad as a child, years before Fisher-Price became an FKQ client!

Congratulations, Rob, and thank you for 40 remarkable years of contributions and leadership. 🎉👏

Proud to see our own Stacy Jaye Howell featured on the Florida Business Minds podcast from the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

In this episode, Stacy joins Editor in Chief Alexis Muellner to talk about FKQ Advertising’s 65-year journey — from Buffalo roots to becoming one of one of America’s leading ad agencies based right here in Florida. A great conversation on growth, creativity, leadership, and the evolving business of advertising.

We kept the FKQ Founder’s Day Celebration going with a special visit from the American Advertising Federation Tampa, who stopped by to present Lisa with the 2026 Tampa AAF Silver Medal Award.

Established in 1959, the Silver Medal honors leaders who have made outstanding contributions to advertising and advanced the industry’s standards and creative excellence. Lisa is the second FKQ CEO to receive this distinction, following Bob Faller, who was previously honored in Buffalo.

“I am truly honored and humbled to receive the 2026 Tampa AAF Silver Medal Award. This recognition is profoundly meaningful to me.” — Lisa Faller

This week we’re celebrating FKQ’s birthday — and that means we’re celebrating our band leader, too!

Founder’s Day and Lisa’s birthday fall on the very same date. Not by accident, but by design. When Bob Faller officially registered the business, he chose a day that already meant something — his daughter’s birthday. From day one, FKQ has been personal.

So today, we celebrate the legacy, the leadership, and the energy that keeps this band rocking.

Now give it up for the greatest rocker in advertising history. 🎸

(Fun Fact: Lisa’s movements are ai. Her outfits are not!)
